It should be obvious to everyone by now that the European Union doesn't actually care about developers or small businesses at all.

I don’t know what this act specifically covers, but if I were a small business that sold (unintentionally) poisonous cookies to my neighbors, I ought very well to be shut down. That applies no matter my revenue stream size (or even if it was zero!) So I don’t find your argument particularly compelling. There is no inherent right to do business, if doing that business is harmful in some way. The E.U. rightly recognizes that consumers in general are more protected that businesses. I much rather this than the capitalist hellhole that the US is turning into.

What if you needed a full commercial grade license and permit to give some home baked cookies to your co-workers?

edit: Or if we go to the extreme of nothing except the action and potential for negative impact mattering then you'd need a license to give those cookies to your own kids or even yourself.

If those co-workers end up in the hospital due to those cookies, better be prepared for talking to some police officers and possible class action depending on what happens to them.

That's not the analogy here. Nothing happens. No one is hurt. Everyone loved the cookies. The government however fines you a massive amounts for just providing the cookies that may hurt them potentially but don't actually.
